Just before International Labor Day, many heart-warming rest stops appeared in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province in a tribute to grassroots workers. /CFP

This is part of a community welfare program, named "a square meter warm corner," that is dedicated to building rest stops in public areas for grassroots workers including food and express delivery staff, chauffeurs, and outdoor workers. /CFP

Free water, drinks, snacks, napkins, and cell-phone chargers are available at the rest stops. Some stops also put up a board on which notes were written by local residents to express their appreciation to the workers, especially during the pandemic. /CFP

These heart-warming stops have seen positive feedback from both workers and the public. Starting in 2019, more and more cities and other locations have answered to the call to offer a more comfortable and considerate environment for outdoor workers. /CFP
